Hello to all from Benni, I will be hosting this week. Thank you much for putting my picture as banner. 😌

As we've seen this week, the value of unpaved land is important in times of storms and heavy rains. To honor these natural sponges, my theme this week is "Meadows, Fields And Wetlands". Any unpaved area will do, there are many of them out there and they are not only beautiful, but also serve a purpose in preserving our environment.

Deep in the Canadian woods, this pond was formed by a beaver dam. Beyond the woods there is a meadow filled with ferns and grasses.

Picture This #416: Three Shots Of One View

Thanks for hosting Anders with such a good idea and wonderful banner photo from Belita.


I don't always take the same views on my walks.


We always drive the same route to the supermarket in the next village of Langendorf and I take photos on the way. We drive through an avenue of trees, so here are a few views:

Many thanks to Anders for hosting this week. Definitely a theme we have not done before, so it'll be interesting to see what everyone comes up with!! I found this more difficult than I expected. Going through my archive I realised that although there are some places I have photographed a lot, I rarely use the same angle and/or distance twice. That being the case, here are three photos of the same subject, Carew Castle, at different times of year, but from slightly different angles and distances. 

1) At sunset in summer.

2) A very still day in late autumn.

3) In winter.

Great banner by Belita!!

Greetings and welcome from Sweden! This week I'm hosting and my idea for the theme is that pick one and the same view at three different times. Looking forward to your contributions. Best Anders.

First of all thank you so much for featuring my photo as banner this week. One of my memories of a visit to Schaffhausen and thanks for hosting Mitch. Yes, our subjects are becoming less and less, but if we take new photos, we should have something completely different.

Something completely different, a bridge crossing at our local supermarket.
Langendorf Migros

This is a relatively new bridge across the River Rhine in Schaffhausen. I only got a side view as we were passing on the road.

This viaduct bridge was just before entering the town of Schaffhausen.

Good day from the USA; the world seems in turmoil this week, both here and in Barcelona. Fortunately, photography is a wonderful way to take a break. Lovely banner shot of the castle by Pat. Great theme by Mitch.

I don't have many pictures of bridges so you may have seen these before.

Hi everyone, this is Mitch and I'll be hosting this week. The theme this week will be 'Bridges'. I think we have had this theme before, so apologies for that, but my original idea for the theme (Monuments & Memorials) I decided might not be appropriate given what's been happening in the US lately. Let's see your best shots of engineering built to span rivers.

1) Old stone bridge crossing the Cleddau River at Black Pool Mill, Pembrokeshire, Wales.

2) The impressive O'Callaghan - Tillman bridge over the Hoover Dam, Nevada/Arizona border.
Colorado & The Bridge 1

3) Unique stone bridge across the River Teifi at Cenarth, Wales, that has 'portholes' built into the structure.

4) The Severn Suspension Bridge spanning the Severn River, linking England and Wales.
